Directed by Gary Sherman. Written by Dan O’Bannon, Jeff Miller, Alex Stern and Ronald Shusett. Starring James Farentino, Jack Albertson, Melody Anderson, Barry Corbin, Dennis Redfield and Robert Englund.
Plot: the townspeople of Potter’s Bluff are killing tourists, but why?
The movie starts out with the insane burning alive of a tourist by several of the locals. They take pictures as they tie him up and set him ablaze. Then, they kill some drunk guy and take some pictures of him, too. But the Sheriff isn’t in on it. And he wants to know what’s happening to all these poor people.
I can tell you that the whole town isn’t in on it and that there is a mastermind, but it probably won’t be who you think. It’s a mystery and DJ doesn’t usually enjoy those, but he enjoyed this one. It’s like an extra long Twilight Zone episode that’s hella interesting. It’s original, well-made, well-acted and we totally didn’t see the twist coming. It’s a classic that’s perfect for the season.
I suppose I could list my favorite movies here, but instead I'll give you a strange glimpse into what makes me TaraRomero.
1. I love comic books. I'm particularly into anything X-Men related and everything Harley Quinn.
2. My celebrity crush is Chris Evans (AKA Captain America). He's even more political than I am and he's not afraid to show it, plus he's really, really hot.
3. I love baseball and more importantly the Boston Red Sox, even though I've never even been to Boston. LOL
4. If I won the lottery tomorrow, after paying off my debts, I'd buy a smallish house somewhere in Southern California. I have got to get out of Texas.
5. My cartoon hero is Tina Belcher. Her and I share a soul.
6. I've been rescuing dogs since I was a teenager and firmly believe that fur babies belong inside and on the furniture.
7. I'm very much addicted to Hallmark Channel. I love their sappy movies, especially the Christmas ones.
8. I have 2 tattoos. An "E" on my ankle for my first lost fur baby. And a ladybug on my wrist named George after George Romero told me he liked it. May he RIP.
9. I'm a bit of a night owl. Not that I go out a lot, it's just that I prefer to be up at night and asleep during the day. I'm a vampire like that.
10. I have an unhealthy relationship with potato chips. My favorite are Herr's Sour Cream & Onion.
